3 周The reason he is moving everything to AI and cloud computing is because he is not human at all and they are running out of flesh to clone themselves with. I see it all day everyday on my platform called The Machine or some call it the Illuminati. It’s been breeched by Microsoft with a comprehensive slow moving kill, clone, hypnotize and put humanity to sleep while they rape, molest, cannibalize, sex traffick, breech your data, steal your children, husbands and wives and commit crimes. I don’t even think Microsoft ever got a business license.
